Valentines Day in Happy Valley

Are you making your Valentines Day Plans yet?  Happy Valley has many options that you can look into to make this year the best Valentines Day ever.  There are places for singles and couples to have a great night out.  Check out the list below to start making your Valentines Day plans.

Single? Dating? Married? Engaged? Whatever your relationship status may be, let Happy Valley take care of your Valentines Day plans.

Many men (and women) struggle with how to make Valentines Day special; what gifts to buy, where to eat, what to do, etc. Plan your evening in Happy Valley with your significant other, or a group of friends!

Some of the best places to take a date for dinner include, The Tavern (http://thetavern.com), Spats Café (http://site.spatscafe.com), Zola Bistro (http://www.zolabistro.com), Kelly’s Steak & Seafood (http://kellys-steak.com/content/home.php), Harrison's Wine Grill & Catering, and Otto’s Pub & Brewery (http://ottospubandbrewery.net). Most of these restaurants come with a fully equipped bar where, if you are over 21, can enjoy a class of wine or indulge in a festive cocktail. If drinking is not an option, dessert is just as pleasing. State College’s fine dining restaurants take Valentines Day seriously so expect more than just a store bought box of chocolates.

If you are having trouble thinking up that perfect gift for your loved one, you can’t go wrong with jewelry. Kranich’s Jewlers (http://www.kranichs.com) downtown has a wide selection of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and, yes, rings too. If you don’t find what you’re looking for there, walk down the street and try Moyer Jewelers (http://moyerjewelers.com), also located on East College Ave. downtown and reasonably priced. If you are looking for other gift ideas besides jewelry, downtown shopping offers many other places to come up with some good gift ideas. Pick out a celebratory cigar at the Cigar Den (http://www.yourcigarden.com) for your man or get him/her some memorable Penn State paraphernalia at The Old State Clothing Company (http://www.oldstate.com). Flowers are never a bad idea either. Create a fixture at Avant Garden (http://www.avantgardenfloral.com) and surprise your date with some classic V-day roses and pair it with a bottle of wine from the Mount Nittany Vineyard & Winery (http://www.mtnittanywinery.com).

If you happen to wander slightly out of downtown State College, here is another great date idea- the movies! Invite a group of friends, couples, or go as a duo and enjoy an early or late showing at any of the venues State College has to offer. Premier Theater (http://www.statecollege.com/movies/theater_detail.php?id=8) has several theater rooms within the building and enough show times to make it easier to decide on the question of, when? With stadium seating and a full snack bar, you will be surprised by how comfortable you can be! If they don’t have what you’re looking for, try College 9 Theatre (http://www.statecollege.com/movies/theater_detail.php?id=10), which offers similar accommodations and a few different movie options.

Also, don't miss these great winter romance and Valentine's packages from around Happy Valley.

So, this Valentines Day, don’t worry too much about who, what, when, where, or why. State College has got you covered. Try a restaurant, grab a drink downtown, exchange gifts, or go to the movies. Whatever your desires may be on this Valentines Day, make sure you plan your night in State College. You and your date(s) will not be disappointed.
